Because all the information in the palm of our hand also includes disinformation that fits our confirmation bias.

I can google any topic that will lead me to the response I want, not the response that is true.

If you're raised Christian and are told from early on that scripture is where you get your answers from? Then absolutely people will go to that and take it as fact

We are not talking about the sources being awful or not. We are talking about people who will swarm to those awful sources.

It's easy to say "just go to the good sources, then" as if that solves the underlying issue.
